The Troubles of the Holy Maiden [Comprehensive]

Chapter 204

"Ji Jun."

A voice sounded from behind Fulan, and Fulan looked back, and it was Sanri Yue Zongjin who came.It was late at night, and most of the swordsmen in Honmaru had fallen asleep. The lights in each room were turned off, and in the empty courtyard, only the cold brilliance of the crescent moon shone down, covering everything with a thin layer of silver gauze.

In this hazy night, Sankai Yue Zongjin, who came by the moonlight, was not wearing thin pajamas as Fran imagined, but was still wearing a full set of battle clothes.

"It's you, Sanriyue." Fulan's voice was very soft, as if she was afraid of disturbing the sleeping people: "It's so late, why don't you rest?"

With a smile on the corner of Sanriyue's mouth, she also said softly: "Oh, I suddenly felt that admiring cherry blossoms under the moon is also a very elegant and beautiful thing, so I came here on a whim. I didn't expect Jun Ji to be here too. It seems that you also received Moonlight invitation letter?"

"Yes, it's beautiful..." Fulan looked at a pastel Manyozakura tree on the hillside, and chanted softly:

"Bitter の 向 Po や Sakura が Saki け ば さ い た と て (Bitter cherry blossoms bloom in the world of mortals)" [1]

On the third day, Yuezong tilted his head and said: "Your emotion is a bit sad, is there something on your mind?"

Fran sighed, and replied, "It's nothing, it's just that I feel bored all of a sudden."

Sanriyue raised her hand, caught a cherry blossom petal that was blowing in the wind, and chanted:

"花の阴あかの别人はなかりけり (Under the shade of cherry blossoms, even if you meet for the first time, you are not a stranger)"【2】

With a smile on the corner of his mouth, he said in a warm voice: "I'm watching the moon and the cherry blossoms blowing snow. If Ji Jun has any troubles, you might as well talk to me."

"You?" Fran turned her head to look at Crescent Moon.

"Haha, I'm an old man over 1000 years old. I've seen a lot of things. Maybe I can help Ji Jun solve his problems."

"Really..." Fran looked up at the sky, was silent for a while, and then asked, "San Riyue, if, if the thing you've always wanted is right in front of you, and you can just reach out and get it, what would you do?" Do?"

Sanri Yuezong asked suspiciously: "Then...why do you hesitate? Does that thing belong to someone else?"

Fran shook her head, and replied, "That thing doesn't belong to anyone. It's just that if I get it, I might lose other things. Besides, I'm not sure if it's time to take it."

"If not sure, will this thing be taken by someone else?"

Fran glanced at Sanriyue and said, "No, but I might lose it forever for some reason."

Sanriyue smiled and said: "So that's it. Are you worried about all kinds of hypotheses that might happen? But hypotheses are hypotheses after all, and the possibility you fear is only the possibility. If you don't take a step forward, what you are facing will be even worse. So many bad possibilities."

Fran asked thoughtfully, "Are you saying that I should make a choice?"

"I don't mean that." Sanriyue shook her head and continued: "This is your choice, it has nothing to do with right or wrong, it just depends on what is more important in your heart, whether it is important enough to bet on a possibility."

"Yeah, you're right." Fulan sighed faintly: "I put myself in a circle." She hugged her arms, looked at Sankaiyue, and said, "Sankaiyue, can I trouble you?" Go to my room to get a coat? It's the folded one on the small table by the door."

Sanriyue looked at Fran in surprise, but still replied gently: "Of course, please wait a moment."

Fran watched Crescent Moon's back until he disappeared around the corner, then turned around.

She raised her hand and touched the time-space conversion device in front of her, and called out a value.

A golden light flashed, and there was no one in front of the time-space conversion device.

Sanriyue, who disappeared around the corner, came out from the corner again. He walked to the place where Fran disappeared just now with a blank face, paused for a moment, and then said lightly: "Come out, I know you are here too."

The calm space rippled, and in the next second, a tall young man with silver hair and red pupils appeared not far from Sanriyue.

Sanriyue didn't even look at the young man, but asked indifferently: "Your plan has succeeded, are you satisfied now?"

The young man drew out the big sword he was carrying with his backhand, and the icy blade shone with a chilling light under the moonlight.

The young man's voice was colder than that of Sanriyue, like a cold machine without the slightest emotion.

"It's still a little short. First of all, I need to make sure that this step is smooth."

As the young man's voice fell to the ground, the originally peaceful space began to vibrate, as if blue-purple lightning tore the space apart.

In the torn space, hideous black shadows loomed amidst the flashes of lightning.

"Very good, what we're waiting for is to check for non-violation. It seems that this step has been successful." The silver-haired young man glanced around indifferently, then flicked the big sword in his hand, and a translucent barrier rose, covering them all. Trapped in the same space with countless black shadows.

Sankaiyue sighed, drew the Taidao from her waist, and assumed a fighting posture.The momentum and divine power around him suddenly let go, and it turned out that it was not the descending projection of the ghost, but the sword Fusangshen himself.

"With a big brother like you, I am really unlucky for eight lifetimes."

----------------

To Fran's surprise, after time-shifting with the time-space transforming device, she didn't appear in a certain place as she expected, but entered a dreamlike space.

The nebula rotates in this space, beautiful and mysterious as if in a dream.

Fran was suspended in this mysterious space like this, a little at a loss.

"You came…"

An ethereal voice sounded, this voice had no source, and it seemed to come from all directions.

"Who are you? Where is this place?!" Fran raised her hand to summon the staff, but found that she had lost contact with the portable space.

Magnificent ripples surged in front of Fran, and after a while, the ripples turned into a transparent figure.This figure continued to condense, as if painted with a layer of dazzling colors by the nebula, and finally, a beautiful girl appeared in front of Fran.

This girl is like a mirror image of Fran.

"You!" Fran's pupils shrank suddenly, and she couldn't believe her eyes.

"I don't have a real body. In order to facilitate the conversation with you, I deliberately changed the appearance of the person you trust." The girl opposite smiled softly: "It seems that the person you trust the most is yourself..."

Fran clenched her fists tightly, feeling unprecedented depression and powerlessness in her heart: "Who are you?!"

"Hehe, me?" The girl's voice was clear and ethereal: "I don't have a name, but you call me Gaia..."

"Gaia..." Fran murmured the name in her mouth, even more unbelievable.

The girl looked at Fran's blank expression of surprise, and smiled softly.

"Saint Fran, I know you."

"You are an accident, but a beautiful accident. When I found you, I wanted to rule out this accident, but you are very special, so I kept you."

"You are very much in my favor. Although you have not deliberately interfered with your will, you have been working hard to cultivate heroes and establish bonds with them. As long as I follow you, I can harvest the best heroic spirits, and because you are Heroic spirits, they are simply willing to give up reincarnation and become part of my power, just to meet you again."

"You really please me, but your identity is a bit troublesome. However, I have dealt with it and replaced your existence with another human being. I want you to stay in the Seat of Heroes and become mine forever." part."

"However, there is a guy who has been causing trouble for me. He is very good at taking advantage of loopholes and is good at escaping. I can't easily kill him, so I made a deal with him..."

"...This transaction is that he uses the world power of the seven planes to exchange for you the right to choose."

"...the right to choose?" Fran stared blankly at the girl in front of her, she couldn't react for a moment due to the huge amount of information.

The girl smiled softly, and said affirmatively: "Yes, the right to choose. Under normal circumstances, I will not easily let the soul of the heroic spirit leave. But, because of that deal, I can give you a choice, whether to leave the heroic spirit seat."

"I..." Fran was about to speak, but was interrupted.

"Don't rush to make a decision. You have to understand that you were just an ordinary girl. Your family background, talent, and appearance are not very outstanding. As Saint Fran, you have powerful magic, outstanding talent, top-notch The talent, the extraordinary appearance, and many fetters and outstanding suitors. As long as you are Saint Fran, everything that human beings desire, power, talent, appearance, wealth, power, love, eternal life... you can easily Possession. But, what else can you have left after leaving the seat of Heroes? Everything you have gained through hard work will be lost, and you will become that ordinary human girl again, living an ordinary life, working hard for yourself and future generations , end your mediocre life in a few decades... Is this really what you want?"

Fran froze, her mind was in a mess, constantly echoing what Gaia had said.

Is returning to an ordinary life really what she wants?Wasn't she addicted to holographic online games because she was dissatisfied with the status quo and wanted to pursue excitement and experience an extraordinary life?

What exactly does she want?

"I want...I want to go home." Fran raised her head and replied seriously.

Gaia paused and confirmed, "Are you sure? Are you leaving the Seat of Heroes?"

Fran pursed her lips, paused for a moment, and said firmly, "Yes, I want to leave the Seat of Heroes."

Gaia tilted her head and said, "You have to know that even if you leave the Seat of Heroes, you may not be able to return to your original identity. After all, you have changed a lot of things unintentionally. Maybe, you will only be in the It just disappeared under the pressure of the rules. Even so, do you want to leave?"

"I want to go home. All my efforts are to find the way home. This is my original intention, and I will never forget it." Fran's expression became calm and gentle: "My family is still waiting for me. , I used to be addicted to games and didn't treat them well. At least, I owe them a goodbye..."

Gaia stared at Fran for a while, and after confirming that she would not change her mind, she beckoned and opened a space-time channel.

"Go out from there, and you can leave the Seat of Heroes. At the same time, everything you own and belong to Saint Fran will be stripped away. As for whether you can regain your original identity, it depends on your luck."

Fran bowed deeply to Gaia: "Anyway, thank you for your care for many years, I am very grateful. Then I will bid farewell, my...Mother Earth." After she finished speaking, she turned around, step by step, firmly Into the space-time channel.

The entrance of the space-time passage slowly closed, and Gaia smiled slightly as she watched Fran disappear.

With a whisper, Gaia's figure gradually returned to nothingness.

"One day you will come back..."

"...Do you think you can escape, Fujimaru Tachika."

-------

Five years later, in the secret meeting room of the government of the time.

"The leader behind the Government of Time is indeed you, Master Seimei..." The awe-inspiring female judge crossed her arms and looked indifferently at the silver-haired young man sitting upright.

The beautiful silver-haired young man gently shook his fan and looked at the indifferent woman opposite with a smile. He was not unhappy to be offended, but greeted gently: "Long time no see, Miss Xue."

"...You summoned me, what's the matter?" Xue's expression was as cold as her name.

"It's like this. As a Valkyrie who has made great achievements in our war against the retrograde army, the government of time wants to reward you for your meritorious deeds. This reward will be distributed by the following. So, I invite you here this time to ask Do you have any request?"

Xue looked at Qingming indifferently, and suddenly asked, "Can I ask for anything?"

Qingming smiled and nodded: "You can bring it up first, and I will consider it myself."

There was a tinge of red at the tips of Xue's ears, she hesitated for a while, and then said: "I want...to have a child."

Qingming shook her hand and smiled awkwardly: "Don't look at me like this, but I'm actually a serious person, asking for a child or something... I'm afraid it won't work."

Xue reacted for a long time before she understood Qingming's meaning, and was instantly ashamed and annoyed.

"What nonsense are you talking about?! I didn't mean that!"

Xueshun breathed a sigh of relief before explaining: "I... probably won't get married. But I promised someone that I would experience the life of an ordinary woman, so I want to be a mother."

She looked at Qingming and said seriously: "I know you have a way to make humans, can you teach me?"

Seimei looked directly into Xue's eyes and confirmed, "You want to make an artificial human as a child?"

Snow nodded: "That's right."

Qingming thought for a moment, then took out two scrolls from the drawer and put them on the table.

"What is this? Is it a way to make humans?" Xue asked looking at the scroll.

Seimei pointed to the scroll and introduced: "The one on the right is the method I used back then. I used Yin Yang and blood to make artificial humans. The child I got is a copy of you in a sense."

"The one on the left is an artificial human method that I have improved by using yin and yang techniques. The Einzbern family, a family of magicians, can create an artificial human based on a certain person."

"Which of these two methods do you want to choose?"

Xue looked back and forth between the two scrolls, and after a few breaths, picked up a scroll from the table.

"Then, thank you..."

The author has something to say: [1] [2] Kobayashi Kazucha's haiku

Hahahaha, I didn't expect that.

Now to explain the wordplay of the previous chapters.Koyuki's real name is Liuhua, her hiragana is りっか, and her pronunciation is rikka.The hiragana of Lixiang is りつか, and the pronunciation is ritsuka.Both hiragana are written in the same way, but the pronunciation is different.The extension of Lixiang has the meaning of snowflakes. Do you still remember the name of Matthew's first skill?It's the "now fragile (glory and firm) Snowflake Wall", the shield that protects Tachika~

Fran's true identity and origin are not a whim. Nishang has buried countless foreshadowings and hints in the previous article, including the cover. Have you noticed what color hair is the translucent girl behind Fran?

Well, this volume is over, and the next volume will enter the modern volume, which is also the final revealing volume. The saint girl has finally returned home (there is no doubt about the Shura field), and the threads buried in the previous article will be uncovered one by one.Thank you for your support for so long, thank you~
